PROPHESY OF GREATEST GRAIL STAR - PART 3

TUESDAY 11 MARCH 2025

God's grace, mercy and glory are embedded in, and activated through the greatest grail star, namely Christ. Therefore, regarding the Messiah, His kingdom, and His people, His star tells of awe-inspiring wonders, unconditional love, merciful tenderness and profound majesty.

Those divine expressions uttered themselves in the life-changing actions and terrific theathre of mind-boggling displays that followed His unique earthly ministry, partly in His direct teaching, partly in His faith-filled presence, and partly in His miraculous results, all which He exhibited on the strength of a powerful emblematic divinity. More below!

Reference: Numbers 24:17 New International Version (NIV)

"I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth."

Today's focus is majored on the second segmentary part - in line with our versified reference:

 "I behold Him, but not near."

What does this segment mean? It simply implies that Balaam could behold a spiritual knowledge of Him, but not the physical reality. Balaam would never know or behold Him in the flesh on earth, even though he beheld his spiritual presence in the vision. Who would later be favoured with His glorious presence in outward circumstances? The new Testament age and disciples! Subsequently, apostle Peter wrote in his Petrine epistolary expression numbered as 2nd Peter 1:16 - "For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw His majestic splendour with our own eyes" (NLT).

Apostle Peter earnestly confessed that his relation to the Lord Jesus Christ was a superbly-fervid fulfilling experience because he entertained the mortal recognition of the Lord, and the relational cognizance of His Kingdom - with his optical attention. He witnessed His symbolic teaching approach, partly parables, His signs and wonders, His compassions, mercies and demonstrated power, His unco company and extraordinary conversations, as well as His afflictions, death and resurrection, such that he could acknowledge the powerful coming of the Messiah, the Son of God, as a first-hand and high-spirited experience.

So this testimony was coming from the original source, on account of his personal circumstance and active involvement with the Lord, because Peter beheld Him in a real close proximity, unlike prophet Balaam. In general, Christ's disciples refer to their knowledge of Christ before His ascension as a powerful experience, not a hearsay knowledge, fictional notion or made up clever stories, because they were fully attuned to original witnessing and accurate reports of His personal appearance. Stay tuned for part 4. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Numbers 12:6; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 1:9; Revelation 22:16.

Guided Prayer:

Gracious Father in heaven, I acknowledge that the new creation stars are numerous and varied, each with its own level of brightness, but the Lord Jesus Christ, the bright morning star, in His eternal glory, has no compeer in the realm of grail stars. Thank you Lord for empowering me to serve your purpose, as a blessed creation in Christ Jesus, steadily beholding your glory in the Word, in Jesus' Name, Amen!
